    If possible, help them get their affairs in order. Estate and funeral planning, etc.

    It sounds like it's too late to change the outcome of this disease for them.  They have not been able to make lifestyle changes and are now facing the consequences. Be loving and supportive, without lecturing or nagging. Make the time you have left with them the best it can be.

    Alcohol is nothing. Try cigarettes. As a matter of fact all the societal do gooders are going to try to make up my own mind for me. I say once a rat always at that. I want Boomer opioids . This post was edited by CosmicWunderkind at March 2, 2024 11:01 AM MST
